The reason Edo state is currently regressing is because they allowed a fool to become their governor.
You cannot consistently elect fools into power and expect your country to progress.
The average Nigerian was not only more literate, they were also more educated some 50 years ago.
You find old videos of randomly selected interview subjects and they speak well and contribute positively to the issue.
Even old Nollywood actors were more thespian in nature than the current ones who are more concerned with money laundering and getting bbls.
There was a country.
Dear Americans, do not see this as progress, the man that has mentored all these petty criminals is currently seating as the President of Nigeria and the FBI are covering him.
He was involved in a drug dealing case in USA and cut some sort of deal with the FBI and DEA way back in 1993.
FBI Stop extraditing petty criminals if you won’t do same for their Mentors.
Someone will look at this shit, then try to convince me it was foreign powers that made this wicked senator not to do his work.
Anyway, I am done listening to these victim speeches.
Same here...
I do not have a gun in the fight at all. Person don belabour that topic tire. Let the government media people do the education and let them show proof that they made the correct decision.
More importantly, the current president is very familiar with the politics. I mean, he himself, with his full chest, supported and stood by very nonsensical, life-destroying and value-destructive policies on the altar of ambition and politics. So he clearly knows the game.
All of them will be fine.
According to the Minister himself
The company handling the Benin road has no previous experience nor equipment for the scope of work
Yet, same Minister issued a contract to them
Now he is pleading….
A man that earned 700,000 Naira in 2019 earned about 23,000 dollars a year
A man earning 2m Naira in 2026 earns about $17,021. A year
So 700,000 Naira in 2019 was greater than 2million today
So when government celebrates over 3 trillion faac disbursement compare with 2019
You will see the value of 2019 faac is greater than 2026
Nigerians,
You need to always ask those in charge of your common patrimony hard, important questions!
How did your Works Minister, Dave Umahi, find such a contractor fit & proper for this job?
How did he arrive at the conclusion that the contractor was technically & financially capable of executing a ₦14 billion contract when he cannot even complete an 11 km road? Who handled the pre-qualification & bid evaluation?
Can you see that Nigeria is not broke?
They are simply wasting your scarce resources on unvetted contractors. ALWAYS SPEAK UP & SPEAK OUT O. No dey sit down dey look.
Fela was great,
Oliver de Coque was great,
Bongos Ikwue is great,
William Onyeabor
Osadebe, Rex Lawson, Victor Uwaifo, Oriental Brothers, Mike Ejeagha
And you should check out #SevenSeven Okonkwo Asah, a man that was rapping in 50's and 60's.
All these musicians started out in Jazz, chants, etc and almost everything today is Afrobeats.
Afrobeats is a recent term.
Afro + beat = African rhythm.
Any music made with African percussion and vocals before, during, or after Fela's time is an "afrobeat." Therefore, Fela didn't create it; he just gave the existing African sound a catchy, shortened name (afrobeat).
African sounds has been existing before Fela was born.
If you say he modernized the sound, it’s fine, but saying he created a sound that was in existence before he dreamt of being a singer, is wrong.
Africans who sang before Fela used African sound (afrobeat)
Thank God he grouped all of us together.
Plus the NBA president o + the organizers that invited him + the lawyers that were begging for pictures + the lawyers that sat to listen to him + the lawyers that defended him on social media.
All of us are in a circus show🤭.
When I post on the “Ethiopian Bible” and its relative later attestation, I get a fair amount of people taking issue due to the presence of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. Doesn’t this text prove that early Christianity reached Ethiopia in the first-century AD?
Simple answer? No, or at least probably not based on Acts. The Ethiopian eunuch came from a region quite different from the modern nation of Ethiopia. Ancient “Ethiopia” actually refers to Nubia, the territory stretching from Aswan in southern Egypt down to Khartoum in Sudan. In ancient documents, Ethiopia designated the lands lying south of Egypt, encompassing present-day Sudan and possibly territories just slightly south of it.
The terminology itself reflects this geographical shift. The region was known in Old Testament times as Cush, and during the Roman period it became known as Nubia.
First-century readers would have connected the eunuch specifically with the kingdom of Meroe, whose queens traditionally bore the title “Candace,” the very title given to the eunuch’s sovereign in Acts 8:27.
The significance of this geographical distinction extends beyond mere nomenclature. Homer referred to Ethiopians as people “who are at the world’s end,” and it is reasonable to assume that inhabitants of the lands south of Egypt bore this designation. This positioning at the world’s edge made the eunuch’s conversion theologically meaningful within Luke’s narrative framework. His encounter with Philip represented the gospel reaching the uttermost parts of the earth, as promised in Acts 1:8.
Understanding the eunuch’s actual origin also clarifies his ethnographic identity. The Greek term “Aethiops” (Ethiopian) was the most common generic designation for a broad black ethic group in Greco-Roman usage, and classical literature consistently identifies Ethiopians as simply a reference to a dark-skinned people. The eunuch was thus a black African from ancient Nubia, a detail that carries theological weight for understanding Luke’s emphasis on the gospel transcending ethnic and geographic boundaries.
Look at our children learning and making things. They are 100 in number.
Some of them are from villages and low-income homes. This is so fulfilling.
Quality education should be free and accessible to every child, regardless of their family background.
